In 1936, the German Chess Federation (Grossdeutscher Schachbund) organized an unofficial Chess Olympiad which was not recognized by FIDE. Schach-Olympia in Munich served as a parallel event to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Twenty-one countries participated, and the top three winners were Hungary, Poland, and Germany.
